Family: Question: How to tolerate Christian family nonsense? How to stay grounded in my beliefs?

Question: How to tolerate Christian family nonsense? How to stay grounded in my beliefs?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 01:01 PM PDT

I am a certified spirit junkie. I am into metaphysics, crystal healing, soul age, astrology. I grew up Christian and have been cutting my ties with the fear based thinking I was taught. Lots of preachers in my family. My soul awakening began when I was 11.. I started questioning what I'd been taught by my mom. Asking questions no one could answer.. She'd always say 'go pray about it' 'it's Gods will' .. Ya know, the usual ****. When I told them I didn't wanna be Christian anymore- I wanted to get into spirituality they (of course) thought I was possessed and the devil was using me. They tried to give me an exorcism and beat the devil out of me! I know, sad. Ridiculous. I've forgiven them. But anyway .. I'm at a point where I'm really into my way of life. And Grandma.. Whom I now live with.. Thinks it's satanic. I could argue that Christianity is evil, but I'm not because I understand that baby souls need religion for a certain sense of purpose. I just don't get why reading one **** book (bible) makes you an expert on faith. Hell, you'd have to speak fluent Greek to be able to fathom the message of 'Gods word' the English translation of it is just a bunch of mistranslated **** and lies anyway lol

Question: I'm always yelling at my mom?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:51 PM PDT

So I've noticed that I've been yelling at and it's mostly at my mom. When ever she asks me a favour I always do it while yelling even though I don't actually mind doing it. I feel that after yelling I feel relieved even though I never felt stressed in the beginning nor did I feel tired. I feel like I need to yell or squeeze something really hard. What is wrong with me? Should I go to the doctor? Please answer because I don't want to keep yelling and hurting feelings.

Question: I need family relationship advice?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:50 PM PDT

I live with my mom and younger brother. It s just the 3 of us since my dad moved out a couple years ago. As the situation stands right now, I m the only person earning any income. My mother is has bad knees and polycystic ovarian disease and is disabled, otherwise she would have a job. I m 21 and I m trying my hardest to hold it all together and take care of them to the best of my ability but my parents are both being very uncooperative, and I m losing patience with them. When my dad left he put all of the financial strain on me. He says he never intended for me to pick up the slack but doesn t seem to care enough to help. He s useless. My mother is in a fragile state and has suffered with depression for a long time. I just don t make enough money to take care of her and it s very hard for me to live in this house anymore. The house is old and falling apart but I can t even get anything fixed because it s so full of stuff. She collects everything and refuses to throw things away, she gets upset over everything, she doesn t know how to take care of herself, she s never had to before and I just want to move on and start a life of my own but I feel like I m tied down to this place. I love my family but I m kind of falling apart. I need advice on how to handle this. I want her to be happy but I don t think I can give that to her. Is it even reasonable to expect to? How can I move on without leaving her hanging with bills she can t pay?

Question: My child belittles me, advice?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:25 PM PDT

I have been moving very heavy boxes in my attic all day alone while my child was in school. She came home, and looked at all the empty boxes of things I had cleaned or hauled to the curb. She said "wow" and I said in general talk "I know, I can barely move!" She said "You can still move mom, jeez,". I ignored it. I asked her to start her homework stating I was tired she told me "how do you think I feel, I had to go to school all day and I had to go on the playground and run and I didn't even want to run, all you had to do was lift boxes.". All night she will continue with "I went to school all day and I had to _____ while you just ____. It's always a competition. I am trying to ignore it but it is like she wants to show me I am lazy (I also work), how to stop this?

Question: How to help my nephew?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:16 PM PDT

I have a 3 year old nephew. He is not very good at sharing. He also hits and tells his mom and dad or others they are bad and ugly if he doesn t get what he wants as well as scream and cry. He has two sisters, one is 5 and the other is 2. When he is playing with his sisters and other 3 cousins (all girls from ages 5 to 9) and he wants something, he will grab it and if they don t give it to him he will hit them and yell. I have tried getting him to ask politely for things and did once but was difficult. His parents were raised that if you did something wrong you were spanked and that s what they do. His mom does most of the disciplining and she tries not to have to spank but gets frustrated and just spanks him twice with a belt. Other things they try to get him or kids to behave is say a bad man will come and take you away, a policeman will take you away or an animal such as a dog or cat or something else will come and eat them at night or something stupid like that. He will just do whatever it is that got him in trouble again though. Sometimes his older sisters talks him into getting out of the apartment and they unlock all locks and leave and their mom goes after them. This happens sometimes and she looks tired of it and yells at them. The dad seems to leave her with the children issues like its only a woman s job. He has not said that but that is what it seems . His sister sometimes gets him to ask for anything and everything. What can I do to help?

Question: Does this mean my dad lied about having a job?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:15 PM PDT

Question: How do I convince met parents to let me go to a fun event?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 11:51 AM PDT

So, I'm a 15 year old girl, and do both karate and recreational soccer. I've been doing karate far longer than l have been doing soccer, and my karate dojo is going on a fun field trip in a week. My friend (who also does karate) and I want to go, but I found out it s on a Saturday (game day). Now, for my teams previous game, 3 girls missed the game because they had volleyball, a hurt ankle, and babysitting. I asked my parents if I can skip the game in a week to go to the karate thing, but they yelled at me for not being committed, and how I could go if told my soccer team, "I'm going to miss the game in a week because I want to do karate more than I want to be at the game with you, so basically l don't care about you guys that much." That's what mv parents said I would have to say. My friend can only go to the karate thing if I go, but I don't know how to convince my parents. They've never been all "you made a commitment you have to keep it!" Before in my life, so I'm super confused. Please help

Question: I hate my sister?

I hate my sister very much... She is a real *****....i am 16 and she is ....how can I make her jealous of me?

Question: Would my parents tell me if they were getting a divorce?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 11:36 AM PDT

My mom texted a guy a few days ago and it made my dad kind of ticked off. My dad did the same thing with a woman a few years ago and my mom got ticked off. Those are the only two times I remember them ever arguing. I asked my mom if they were divorcing and she said "I really don't think so, but it wouldn't be the end of the world for you if we did. You'll be fine". That wasn't really convincing at all and it made me really upset. I asked my dad the same thing and he said "no, neither of us want a divorce. we've fought worse than this before. if we were getting a divorce you boys (my brother and I) would be the first to know". To be honest no one has told my brother that they're fighting and he stays in his room or outside almost all the time so I don't think he has a clue that they're butting heads. Does it sound like they're thinking about divorce and just trying to calm me down?

Question: Why did all of my sister marry guys who've been to jail multiple times?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 11:06 AM PDT

I have 4 sisters. One is 15 so shes not married anybody yet but I'm guessing it'll be another loser for sure. So's my other 3 sisters are married to these guys. My mom was married to one too (before guess what? he died in jail) These are violent offenders. I don't understand why. What can these guys do for them??? Nothing cause they always in jail!

Question: Should I pay my parents rent?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 10:10 AM PDT

My mom wants 300. I am a student. I sleep there a couple times a month when she doesn't want to be alone, and when there, I clean up after everyone. I hardly eat, shower or stay there. She says it's not about the resources I use, it's about her raising me without my dad and wanting to help out at a place I call home...she also goes to casino weekly idk how much she spends. Am I being selfish because I don't want to pay? Do i owe her for rasing me?

Question: Sister is ridiculously immature and won't stop annoying me?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 10:06 AM PDT

She's 14 but acts like she's five. She lies to practically everyone, cheats at games and tests, and has stolen money from me. When I'm making something, and I turn my back for a moment, she'll actually spit in my food/drink. I'm taking college classes and have homework nearly every night, and she'll barge in my room (literally barge- she broke the lock) and just sit there, messing with my stuff, distracting me. I have tried to reason with her, ask why she does this, and she'll just say something akin to "deez nutz" and laugh. I can't revert to the childish behavior of telling our mother; that stopped working long ago. What should I do?

Question: My mom is in the wrong, why is she crying?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 09:59 AM PDT

My mom and I got into an argument because last week I told her I was going to go get my hair dyed and what i wanted to get done takes really long so i needed her to take care of my son. she said ok after making an annoyed face about it, but she said she would come with me because she didnt want to hear the baby crying because i wasnt there. So today we went and my hairstylist told her it was better that she went home because it would take about 4 hours. and she was pissed.

Question: Yelled at my stepmom last night?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 09:27 AM PDT

I yelled at my stepmom and feel awful. I'm 20, my dad is 38, she's 30. My parents had me really young, then got married too fast, then divorced. My dad for the longest time, didn't date. Well, like a year and a half ago, he met this woman, married her. She was cool up until recently. Like, when my dad was dating her, she was like that cool girl I was friends with, well, for some reason, she decided to get all serious. She got mad at me for not picking up my socks( I commute to class, live at home) and lectured me. I yelled at her, gave her the " you're not my real mom" treatment. She unfortunately cried, locked herself in her room. My dad got PO'd. She's not talking to me, I apologized too. Now what?

Question: Do you think she thought that was funny or something?

Question: I'm 16 years old and my mum found out that I have sex with my boyfriend?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 08:54 AM PDT

I'm 16 and I've been with my boyfriend since December 2014. In February (this year) I lost my virginity to him and we've had sex numerous times since then. I honestly do love him and I'm so happy with him. The first time we had sex I kept the condom wrapper, and hid it in my room. Today, 7 months later, my mum found it, and is furious with me! She told me she's ashamed of me, disappointed in me, thinks I'm disgusting - I feel awful. She's not very understanding, but I'm happy with the decision I made, to have sex with him. I don't sleep around, he's the only boy I've ever slept with and he's the only boy I ever wanna sleep with! My mum hates me right now and I don't know what to do. Help please? (I don't wanna hear that I'm too young etc, I live in the UK and I'm legal to have sex)

Question: How to deal with dramatic family?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 08:36 AM PDT

Any help or advice pleeease??💕

Question: Does my family deserve something like me?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 08:36 AM PDT

I'm 18, Male. I'm depressed, a coward, unfit, weak; physically and emotionally, a ****** –which is frowned upon on my country-, empty, incapable of concentrating. I have failed most of my exams which means I'm about to fail the grade, I can't defend myself, I'm very sensitive and my parents don't like a winy bitchy piece of ****. I want to kill myself but I'm too much of a coward to do it. The world would be a better place without me, I don't want my parents to keep wasting their money on me because I'll just simply disappoint them again and again like I have since I was 12, they have been living with an absolute disappointment of a human being. I have lost most of my intelligence as time progressed. I used to be a straight A student now it's a miracle if I get a pass mark. I wish my friends didn't know me so they didn't have to deal with me, I wish I didn't exist in the first place. I feel out of place in my house…like a stain. I wish my family didn't care so I could just die and not be missed already!! And please don't say pray to god, I am an Atheist and is not going to work.

Question: I'm embarrassed of my sister who claims she's "agender" and "otherkin"?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 08:26 AM PDT

I'm 15 years old and I have a 16 year old sibling (it feels weird to say, she's always been my sister) whom I've been close to. Recently, she's been going through very embarrassing phases. She claims to be otherkin, is very "tumblr", and gets annoyed if you don't use they/their pronouns. She also wanted to change her name to a guys name, which I can't accept and I'm embarrassed when teachers at school call her that name when I'm around, it's embarrassing and people look at me. In general, they're really embarrassing to be around. They die their hard and wear big colorful glasses like a cartoon character and they dress in boys clothes from target and crappy anime t-shirts. Also, I think part of the reason I'm so annoyed and embarrassed is because they're a bad person in general. They've never treated me how I want to be treated, why should I to them? Whenever I ask them for a favor, they make me pay them, when I do things for free for them all the time. They leave menstrual products (used) all over the floor of my room and when I get mad they claim they're "dysphoric" about it. That doesn't mean you have to make our room an used pad landmine. They're violent and apathetic, they've admitted it, and they're obsessed with gore and they talk about killing people a lot, especially people that "misgender" them. I think this is just an annoying phase. This is eating at me, I feel like a horrible person for doing it, and I want to switch schools to escape her. Last time I asked this, I was accused of it being fake. It's not. I wish I could say it was, but I have to experience this walking steorotype at home, school, and my parents force me to hang out with her. She uses the boys bathroom at school and people talk about it to me.

Question: Am I worthless? Please someone answer me my parents tried killing me and they once put an alcohol in my water when I was 6.?

Question: My mom is kicking me out. Is there anywhere I can go?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 08:00 AM PDT

I'm a 19 year old girl and I have Asperger's. My mom can't take my problems anymore (Not that I blame her, really :'( ) so she's giving me two weeks to move out. I'm distraught about it. I've applied to 20 jobs within the last year. No luck. I'm going to have to quit college because of this (Just started late August), which breaks me heart because I have dreams to become a teacher. But whatever, I have to do what I have to do, I suppose that's less important than finding somewhere to live right now. Will a homeless shelter take me? What about my dog, will they let her come too? My dog is my best friend and if I have to leave her behind...I can't even think about it, I don't know how I'll be able to go on without her. She's the only living thing that loves me, I feel like. I feel like a pathetic failure and I hate myself, but I suppose there's no use moping about things you can't change. What I need to know is, if a homeless shelter won't take me, is there anywhere else I can go, at least until I get on my feet?

Question: Why is my little sister is an is an embarrassment to me?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 07:52 AM PDT

my parents are abroad for the next 3 months it's already past three weeks so my 13 year old little sister Dylan is staying at my house I am a 27 year old guy and I don't like the way she dresses she dresses inappropriately and she wears shorts that barely cover her but I am embarrassed to go in public with her when I'm going to a friend's house or anything she wears shorts and crop tops ! I told her that she needs to dress more appropriately but she told me that Mom and Dad allow her to dress that way so I called my mom and dad and they said that they are okay for her to dress that way! But if don't like it and I'm embarrassed I can tell her what to wear! I am okay for her to wear shorts a bit above the knee and tank tops but I don't like the crop tops I don't like that all of her stomach is showing out! I tried talking to her but she said that she doesn't care about my opinion! how do I make her dress the way that I say?!

Question: I have an insane, bipolar mother.. help?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 07:44 AM PDT

Okay, I don t have long because I was grounded for not getting up at the snap of her fingers, but here s the deal. My Dad is a great guy but is gone all day, usually gets home around 7:00PM because of work. My mom s parents are divorced and she was raised by her mother. My mom s mother, however, is bipolar and has some small things wrong with her where you can kind-of tell that she s not all right in the head. Now, here s the actual problem - every morning she wakes me up by screaming at the top of her lungs, and tells me that I have woken up and not gotten up before, then grounds me. My sister (16) tells me that I never wake up at all, so I just go along with it. We are always patient with her and talk to her about what stresses her out, but she doesn t really listen and literally mocks us when we try to help. She just acts so ******* childish, and I m sick of it. Of course this isn t the only thing, either. (I m homeschooled, along with my little sister (7) ) My sister decided to try being homeschooled, and she has decided to go back after about the first month. My mom freaks out and tells her that she s going to be a wreck, and that she doesn t get to spend enough time with her, which is kinda-ok, I guess, but then she makes a HUGE deal about it and has a screaming fit about it, and every time my sister tries to say something, she is mocked. There are so many things to add on to this, but this is just two examples. This stuff happens EVERY DAY. How can I get away? Help

Question: Would this be rude (read details)?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 04:52 AM PDT

First off, this is NOT about me, Its about my brother and my parents. My brother is in his late 20s and have moved out, but keep borrowing money for food because he waste his money of fastfood, fuel for the car, video games or music instruments or give it away to his family. When he is broke, he literally lives at home, taking food or snacks without asking them (or buy food) and wake them up middle of the night with his music because he can't sleep which really bother my parents, because they woke up from it and has to buy almost everyday new food or rather beverage, he typically drink all milk they have, Once in a while, when he got his paycheck he usually give them (or me, I still live at home) gift and not in small amount, this time it was a large plasma TV (I don't know what it would cost in english currencies but approximately 1,200 euro), even though we already have two large ones. For my own point of view, it feels like it giving everyone in the family gifts to pay back the burden he give the parents by coming middle of the night or "stealing" the milk. Sure, it's nice of him to do this everyone, But for HIS sake, would it be rude for the parents to reject the gifts, rather than coming back after a week and ask for money or take their food, wouldnt it be for him to keep his money so he doesnt have borrow money from them later? They did try to say he shouldn't do it, but he replied they are "worth it". Usually I don't bother what they do with their money (it's not my "business", but this is something I don't understand. Douglas, he do has a job. Engineer and the pay check is what he waste his money on.

Question: How do I get my sister to understand that she's wrong?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 04:45 AM PDT

My 28 year old sister asked my fiance to pick her up on the way to a cocktail party (engagement celebration) we were attending. It was the first time she was leaving her 5 month old son home alone with her husband. She told us on the way there that if she needed to leave early, she d take a cab home. When the party was coming to an end, her husband called her telling her to leave since the baby was hungry and crying. She asked my fiance to leave, and he said yes in 20 minutes, since he wanted to wait a full hour after having an alcoholic drink. She offered to drive, but it wasn t his car (he borrowed his sisters) so he wasn t comfortable with that. She shot up out of her chair to call her husband to pick her up. She told me that her husband is angry at us, and the next day she called us "heartless" and "drunks" through a text message and that WE owe her an apology. I understand she wanted to take care of her baby, but at the same time I feel like she crossed the line with her words and actions. How do I get her to see that she is in the wrong?

Question: Should I be worried?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 04:17 AM PDT

So my parents split about 4 years ago when I went to college. My dad lives alone in an apartment. Lately he has been talking about about the people he has been talking to online. I know he is bored by himself. There is the one guy who is from Columbia who is my age 23. My dad talks to him all the time. And now my dad just bought a plane ticket to go to Columbia for a few days! He has never met this kid. My dad wanted to go on vacation before but he was going to go to a resort. Now he is going to a town near where the kid lives and is staying in a hotel. He knows I don't want him to go since this kid is a total stranger. What do you think??

Question: What do I do about this?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 04:16 AM PDT

I dropped out of high school and ever since I made that choice my mother became a complete devil. I don't know why she is treating me so horribly. I have done nothing wrong I told her that I would get my GED next year because I'm underage to get it now. I can't even go talk to her anymore because she is instantly angry at me, but when my little brother goes and talks to her she is all happy. She won't even let me get a job to replace going to school this year. Since I can't get a job she is making me do everything while she sits in bed and does absolutely nothing. She told me if I don't do what she says she is going to take away my dogs heart worm pill and flea prevention, she is going to make my dog pay for this I told her that it isn't right that she is doing that. I love my dog so I have no choice. Since she is mad and disappointed at me so she decides to tell everyone in my family that I dropped out.Since she did this my family no longer wants me to be apart of it. So basically my parents and other family members disowned me. I would leave but I have no where to go especially since I would take my dog with me. I can't get an apartment because being 17 is considered a minor. I don't know what to do about this. My mom and I used to have a great relationship we would always laugh, talk, and hangout but since she has been acting this way she has ruined of that just because of my decision. She has made this place a living hell for me.I can't even show my face around here.

Question: My dad doesn't give me anything now I'm 16 and working..?

I left school in January and I applied for all sorts of different apprenticeships in the building trade, My dad is a builder so he knows alot about it, my mum is basically an office lady, she sits in the house office sorting paperwork and answering the phone etc, I got accepted for a 2 year course with Geason doing bricklaying, this is where it all turned inside out.. I started working late January with my dad, that's who I do the course with, he teaches me how to and the basics, but before I was working he used to give me everything, shoes, money, clothes, EVERYTHING! but now I'm working its all about 'youre on your own' yeah maybe so I'm working now I'm on my own two feet but I shouldn't have to pay for the things all the time? I did good in my results I got all Cs and one D so I don't understand why he's so harsh all of a sudden? He bought me a 50cc moped too, its geared and it's nice he bought it for £300 but it needed alot of tlc, he spent about £1200 on it getting it right and now everytime I complain like 'why do I have to spend my hard earned money for oil or petrol' all my family go mad saying he's done this and that to get it right and now I'm just sat here like.. Yeah so maybe I get £150 a week but I spend £30 on dinners during the week and £20 in petrol for the week.. Then by the time comes pay day I'm left with like £30 because i owe it out.

Question: How to get what I want from my mom, quickly ?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 04:00 AM PDT

So here's the deal: My best friends family offered me to go to New York City with them (so we can attended this film festival in which our film is in, and winning an award, like its a big deal-there were 2000 submissions, and we were top 10), and my mom is on edge about me going (SHE ALWAYS DOES THIS!!!!!!). The problem is, the flight is almost sold out, so I need to persuade her ASAP. For the past 2 days (ever since I found out about the festival-which is in 2 weeks on my BIRTHDAY), I've been cleaning and organizing all my parents crap around the house. I don't think I've ever worked so hard for something. I've been overly nice to my parents, and I try and politely bring up the trip, and my mom replies "I don't want to get stressed out right now" and I get so frustrated. Usually I just beg for things and I end up getting them (bc that's how she raised me), but this time I actually work and that gets me no where. I don't understand and I'm so stressed bc this trip means a lot to me. All my friends are going except for me. by the way, I'm turning 17 in 2 weeks. I need a way to quickly persuade her into letting me go.

Question: I think my mum may be seriously ill but I don't know what to do?

Question: How do I get over something embarrassing? How do I react when people find out?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 03:42 AM PDT

Ok, so my question was hard to word but I'll tell you the story. Last year I went to stay at family in a different country for my sisters wedding. During one night I stayed at a different relative and I pissed the bed. I had actually woken up in the morning, went back to sleep and then peed. I managed to get through the day without anyone finding out (even though my brother slept in the same room and my two older sisters woke us up). At the end of the day, my cousin who usually sleeps in that room sat down on his bed to find out. I saw his brother carry the dirty sheets down stairs. I was in bed and couldn't sleep and someone opened the door and pretended I was asleep. So he obviously saw me sleeping in that bed. In the next morning he gave a dirty look and I felt bad. Now I'm going back there for another event and I dont know if all my cousins know. Also the mentallity is different there and I don't want them to think of me as a pussy (it sound stupid I know). I am really bad in social situations and I'm scared. Please help Thanks in advance!

Question: My friend are too relax for her age...?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 02:35 AM PDT

So, she is 16 and she did not do housework before.. She is middle class but I know that she is more richer than me a little bit. She did not even iron her own clothes before!!! This is getting really confused because I did some of the housechores. I cannot tuition at any time I like but she can tuition at any time. I go to my mum shop after school and she go home, her parents monthly salary are very low but still can own an iPad air and iPad air 2 that she just recently bought on last Thursday. I really curious about how her parents manage their money. Her mother work at a electronic company and her father is a mechanic. She has a pair of spectacles which cost 1200 money. Her mother was really tired after work but still need to do all the housework like sweeping the floor , mopping, wash and dry up the clothes and many more but she is just over there relax and never help her parents. Wait till she grow up she will pay the cost... Her sister got a sanding galaxy note 3 for dropping her old smartphone into the swimming pool and her father did not even scolded her.

Question: My mom's been sleeping with a guy much younger than her. I'm confused and hurt. I need advice.?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 02:24 AM PDT

My dad died about 10 months ago. My mom was as devistated as anyone could be. It's been really hard for all of us. However, i recently found out she's been sleeping with a much younger guy. She's 45 and he's 24. They haven't been having a serious relationship, but they have been sleeping together quite regularly. It makes me upset because in some ways I feel like she's betraying my dad. I also don't understand why she feels this need to sleep around with him casually so much. I don't want to talk to her about this (she doesn't know i know), but it really bothers me. Why is my mom doing this? How can I understand? Should I be oK with this?

(I m not religious, if you can t tell already) I want to just spend some more time with him. What am I supposed to do? How should I cope...

Question: How to make my brothers new girlfriend go home?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:47 AM PDT

She s rude and dirty and thinks she can boss everyone around because my brother will back her up. My mom and I have been working on sabotaging her stuff but it s not good enough. Today I put a lock on the bathroom cabinet and hid her pads elsewhere. My brother cut the lock and then threw a fit because his girlfriends pads weren t in there. I need more things to do to annoy her, she went home for a bit but she s here again and it s demanding my mom buy my brother more tobacco so they can roll cigs. Yes this is childish, yes my mom should be able to kick her out. I m not asking you to tell me this, I want ways to make her leave and not want to come back. Thanks.

Question: Should I invite this single mother and her kids for a vacation?

Posted: 28 Sep 2015 12:09 AM PDT

I got a job that requires me to travel. I will be assign in Orlando Florida. I want to invite this single mother and her kids to spend a few days with me. It's a great chance to spend time with her. And she can have great bonding moments with her children. Do you think it's too soon to invite them . I'm not the type to play a role on their lives. I just like the mother a lot. But since it's a family destination with great family entertainment . Do you think it's too soon to do ask her kids for a vacation. And would it be awkward ?

Question: How can I tell my brother to shut up!?

My brother lives with his gf at my parents house. And he works from 6-12 and when he gets home at 12am him and his gf go to the kitchen and start cooking and make so much noise that I can't even sleep! How can I tell him to stop because it's annoying as hell!!

Question: My mom said that she doesn't care about me and that she's kicking me out when I'm 18 and that she doesn't love me?

Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:41 PM PDT

We've got into a really big argument. She took my laptop and put it in her truck. I took it out to do my homework, I woke up at 4 in the morning. I even left my computer out on the table with a note of apology. When I got home, she was back from home early and she slammed my co outer on the ground right in front of me, this is what she did to my iPad as well. I mean these things are mine, my dad bought them for me. There the only thing I remember him bye( after the divorce he died 5 years later) when he died she didn't give me any support at all. She didnt talk to me before, well she did, only to criticize me. I've been to my counselor and talked to her many times, I still don't know why she acts like this, but my counselor did help calm me down. Is she a good mom? Why is she like this? Does she really hate me? Does she really care about me? Should we see a Phycologist?

Question: I may have lost my mothers trust. What do I do?

Posted: 27 Sep 2015 11:22 PM PDT

So I admited to my mom some of the things I did in middle school. I lied about doing my homework, gave my teachers a hard time, generally acted like the world was out to get me. I was a jerk. She thinks that people don't really change, but middle school was a really weird time for me, and I know I am never going back to the person I was then. How can I get her to believe me?

Question: I feel like my daughter doesn't love me as much?

Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:48 PM PDT

21 years old. I had my daughter young, she is almost five. Since I was so young when I had her my aunt helped a lot raising her. She would always and still watches her when I work late. Well now that I no longer live with my aunt my daughter crys and says she wants to go "home". "Home" being my aunts house. I tell her she is home and she says she wants to go to my aunts house. It's not like she never sees her. I let her go every single weekend. It hurts my heart to know she doesn't want to be with me. How can I make her love me?

Question: My mom and I don't usually get into fights, we are super close and now even closer since my sister left for college... (please read details)?

Posted: 27 Sep 2015 10:20 PM PDT

When we get into fights, my mom is so mean. She sends me to my room, and doesn't want to talk it out. I am screaming on the inside. I have all these built up emotions and I can't let them out, so I am usually screaming into a pillow. When my sister got into fights with my mom, my mom was nurturing and kind, she cared and they got into more fights in a month than my mom and I get in a year! I have told her how I felt before and my mom disagrees. She is an amazing mom, but she never shows emotion. Even when I get into fights with friends, she isn't caring. I feel so alone those days we get into fights ( I am a teen in middle school if you were wondering )
